Pete Rose, 71, is looking to make his reality TV series a hit, though it could easily be a miss. As reported on Saturday, his new show "Hits and Mrs." stars Rose along with with his sexy 30-ish former Playboy model fiancee, Kiana Kim (she refuses to reveal her exact age).

Rose is baseball's all-time hits leader, but he was banned from the sport for gambling on games, although he denies ever gambling on his team's games. Many feel he should be included in Baseball's Hall of Fame, but it doesn't appear it will happen unless there is a sea change.

The couple's new show premieres on Jan. 14, 2013 at 10 p.m. ET on TLC. The focus will be his relationship with Kim. The show has a short six-episode order, and it's unclear if the couple will walk down the idea during the series.

In a video clip from the premiere episode, Rose and Kim are seen arguing about a wedding date, with Rose, apparently annoyed, saying they'll walk down the aisle "in 2029!" However, Kim is seen trying on a wedding dress in the episode.

According to a TLC announcement about the show, the couple's families have reservations about their engagement. To make matters worse -- or more complicated -- the couple lives in different cities. Kim lives in Los Angeles with her two children and Rose lives in Las Vegas.
